Virus!
Since when do macs get viruses? You might be mistaken old chap.
(And other similar quotes).
Fiiiiuuuu, I'm actually glad none of us works for a top-crisis job, like the firemen or traffic air control or the world health organization or governments or anything alike...
"- Oh my God, my building is on fire !
- No it can't be, there's a fire-preventing system in it, you couldn't light a match,
- but... I'm trapped inside, and I see flames and I smell smoke and my shoes are burning and my colleagues are all dead !
- ahah, sorry old chap, you might be mistaken."
(Rephrase the same story with a plane going down or the asiatic bird flu or the global warming).
Whenever someone mentions a virus on OsX, there is always someone to come up with the "there's no virus on OsX". Isn't that the wrong way to approach the problem ???
There have been no harmful viruses on OsX so far, but it's mostly because there hasn't been the will to work enough on that, all virus-makers are busy with the PC-world (more money for anti-virus software companies and/or more people to annoy). OsX is only a computer system, even if Unix based ! And if Apple has set up a strong Firewall option in the OsX, isn't it because they know viruses
can happen, and they should lock the doors ? And when someone doesn't have the Firewall on, or uses specific network settings to improve communication despite security, what is left, a Holy Blessing Wall ?
The Titanic cannot sink. The Zeppelin cannot fall. The atom is the smallest particle. Time is not elastic...
Does it all ring a bell ? Human assumptions.
I always think science and (industrial) progress are improved by people who doubt everyday about what they know, and certainly not by people who sit on their "knowledge" or acquired assumptions.
Shouldn't we look at similar problems from another point of view ?
